Interesting new shoes with the single spray on design. Whether it’s marketing or genuine they really seem to have upped their focus on performance the past 2 years.

I have two pairs in my “collection “
One are pure casual only
The other has elastic laces in, when I had Achilles issues all last year they “ seemed” as comfortable as any of the others if not more so.
Wore them for park run and a 5 k tri run this year.
They seem half a size bigger than they should be.
There certainly very comfortable

I tried a couple of pairs, back at the start when they were the only ones doing the 30day free trial thing. I did really like them, but baulked at the price - back then £125 for a pair of trainers was mental. Oh how times have changed.
They were a tiny bit too narrow for my weird feet though, so i didn’t ever go back to them; but i do recall enjoying one pair, but not another (just checked Strava and i had them back in 2017 - I liked the Cloudsurfer but didn’t like the Cloudrush).
Can’t say i have any understanding of their range any more either. They released a LOT of models in the last decade!!!

In a bid to do a little bit of running over the winter, I’ve deviated from my normal purchase of Hoka Cliftons and just bought a pair of Karhu Fusion shoes. Super comfortable and very supportive of my stupid high arches. Looking forward to giving them a proper road test.

They look similar to the ones myself and poet had problems with, but they must be alright for a lot of people.

I think they are the new Zoom Fly 6.
The previous versions had gone steadily downhill from the ZF2 that I think a lot of us here picked up. This is supposed to be a bit of a return to form, lighter and more like the training version of the VaporFly that it is supposed to be.

That’s them
140? On offer apparently
Been offered a size 10 pair unused for 30 quid cheaper again ?!
There a bit “ high “ ?!?
Not sure I’d use them, or any of the high stack shoes, for gym work. Should be good for running, although designed for faster tempo or workouts, there are probably better and cheaper shoes for day-to-day runs.

If it’s gym work and a bit of running the Nike Free Run 11s and 12s were going fairly cheap if you search around. Ones I saw on sportshoes for £54 are gone though.
I’m looking at some Peg Trail 5s at £65…in white. Will write a letter to Mrs Christmas.
